Oh, Sprinkles red velvet cupcakes, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: Regular, sugar-free and gluten-free. Yes, our celiac-brethren can now enjoy these moist sweet bombs, or even make them at home.

The mother of all cupcake companies started making the gluten-free wonders because of customer demand, according to Nicole Schwartz, Sprinkles vice president of marketing and social media. “So many people would come into a store and say, we’re here to celebrate a birthday but our one daughter can’t get a cupcake [because she’s gluten-free],” Schwartz says. “How heartbreaking is that?”
